Refugee Protection and the Role of Law (eBook, PDF)

Conflicting Identities

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This edited volume is framed around two themes which go to the core of contemporary refugeehood; those of protection and identity. It analyses how the issue of refugee identity is shaped by and responds to the legal regime of refugee protection in contemporary times. The book investigates the premise that there is a narrowing of protection space in many countries and many highly visible incidents of refoulement. Contributors to the volume, who include Erika Feller, Elspeth Guild, Hélène Lambert and Roger Zetter, look at the relevant issues from the perspective of a number of different disciplines including law, politics, sociology, and anthropology.
